I love the fit and the way it looks on me but it arrived with holes in it. The packaging did not provide any protection and it was damaged in transit.
I gave this to my grandson for. Christmas He loves it. Perfect fit. He wore it to a cold EAGLES GAME and was very warm. Highly recommended
Very comfy, lots of space and pockets well made for cold days.
I recently bought this North Face Hydrenalite Down Jacket for my teenage son as a surprise for the holidays, and it was an absolute hit! From the moment he tried it on, he hasn't taken it off and it's become his go-to for school commutes, weekend hikes, and even casual hangouts in the chilly Connecticut weather. My son, who's picky about style, loves the sleek design and how it layers easily over hoodies or thermals. Sizing was spot-on (we went with medium, and it's roomy but not oversized), and the ethical sourcing details just make it feel even better to support. If you're looking for a jacket that's equal parts functional, fashionable, and eco-friendly, this is it. North Face nailed it-my son says it's the best gift ever, and I'll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend!
Great Jacket! This jacket is just as warm as the Retro Nuptse Jacket but a little less puffy. The only downside is that it doesn't have any inside pockets, although I really don't have a use for it. Got a lot of good compliments when I wear this jacket! If you have a good fit, it's true to size. But if you like a little space so you can wear like a hoodie underneath, I suggest going up one size. I'm 5'6" and 160 pounds - wearing a size Small. Love the fit! Jacket is great for every occasion!!!
he jacket is a great fit and very comfortable to wear. It provides just the right amount of warmth, making it ideal for winter use. The material is soft and feels great against the skin, adding to its overall comfort. However, the only downside I noticed is that the jacket tends to look a bit crushed when worn, with visible lines and creases. If this issue could be resolved, it would make the jacket nearly perfect. Overall, it's a solid choice for winterwear with minor room for improvement.
I own more TNF jackets than I should admit, but this one is BY FAR the greatest. The moment I opened the box, even while still in the plastic wrap, I was hooked. The fit is perfect, incredibly warm, not overly puffy but not too thin. I get compliments on it from random people, which rarely happens with any other clothing I wear. This jacket makes you check the forecast hoping the weather will be right to wear it.
I've had the North Face Men's Hydrenalite™ Down Jacket for a couple of weeks now and have worn it several times, including after a recent snowstorm that dropped about 14 inches at our home in New Albany, Ohio. I absolutely love this jacket. It's been perfect for most winter conditions. During a brief stretch of sub-zero weather, I did switch to another North Face jacket built for heavier-duty cold, but that's really the only scenario where this one wasn't my first choice. I travel quite a bit for work, and one of my favorite things about this jacket is how easy it is to compress into my backpack. It packs down small without adding noticeable weight or bulk, which makes it incredibly convenient. The jacket itself is very lightweight, warm, and comfortable, and it's quickly become my go-to for everyday winter wear. Overall, I'm a very happy customer and would absolutely recommend it.
I am disappointed that this “high-end” North Face jacket did not have an outside zippered chest pocket or an inside pocket. Most higher quality jackets include these features. Also, I wish they would use a double zipper. It is a winter jacket and a two-way zipper makes it much more convenient when driving your vehicle. Guess I’ll have to stick with LL Bean.
For 70 years I lived in Southern California, where a down jacket was needed only a few times a year. We are now in Southern Delaware and the fall/winter here is COLD! This down jacket outperforms everything I've ever owned. It's warm, stylish, not too puffy and a very fair price. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. I'm wearing it daily.
